  1. The tiny 400mAh #LithiumPolymer #battery in this cheap #Bluetooth #speaker turned into a puffed up pillow. I've replaced it with a 350mAh one I salvaged from a single-use disposable #vape device. In spite of the lower capacity, it is significantly larger than the original battery. Hope it can still fit in the available space.

    Also fitted a JST connector to the speaker wires in case I need to disassemble again for a future #repair.

  6. Continuing the theme of disposable #vapes disguised as beverages, these take the shape of sports water bottles. Each has a USB-C port for recharging the 600mAh #lithiumPolymer battery.

    There is an inner shell protecting the battery so it is undamaged despite the case being cracked open by force -- likely stomped on or run over by car. But likely suffered internal damage from a very brutal recharging regime.

  11. Found a Pyne Pod 8500 discarded in the grass during a walk into town yesterday

    Surprisingly sophisticated charging circuitry for an item designed to be disposable. No obvious way to open it in order for owners to refill the tank or to swap in a new atomizer module.

    It is getting more difficult to recognize what some of these single-use #vape devices are. I nearly walked right by this one which was disguised as an opened drinks can with a plastic straw sticking out.

    The 650mAh lithium battery is rechargeable via the USB-C port on the bottom but there is no way to easily refill the atomizer tank

  21. Before the current epidemic of disposable vape pens, Poundland used to sell these disposable phone chargers which had a 650mAh #lithiumPolymer battery connected to a DC-DC boost converter. There was no straightforward way for owners to recharge them.

    I've been distracted by e-cig battery harvesting, but finally got around to adding a TC4056A module with over-discharge protection to the few I bought back then

    They are now just like USB #rechargeable powerbanks

  26. Haven't seen a single-use #vape device in this form factor before. Found discarded in the grass along the side of a public footpath

    Internal #LithiumPolymer battery is rechargeable via USB-C but the tank is not refillable. Still has a voltage of 3.7V
    I wonder how many times it was recharged before becoming street #litter

  36. Whether or not these disposable #vape devices get banned, the astonishing level of #shrinkflation that is bordering on scam territory, should be sufficient reason to stop buying these single-use #VapePens

    The 550mAh #lithiumPolymer #battery (date code 221101) was found in a discarded Elfbar 600 from earlier this year.

    The 360mAh battery (date code 230417) from an Elfbar 600 I picked up from the side of a road today

  41. Found all these disposable #Vape devices by just walking into town and back today. Passed by a few that were little more than shattered remains in the road. Even the run overs might still have salvageable electronics -- the pressure sensor can be repurposed as a capacitive touch switch

    At this rate I'll easily exceed the number I found last year.

  51. That pressure sensing capsule found in most disposable #vape pens can very easily be turned into a #touchSensitive switch that is capable of switching currents high enough to activate small relays and solenoids

    Simply slice the top off, exposing the edges of the inner and outer conductive cylindrical walls. Bridging the two walls with something no more conductive than human skin is sufficient to trigger it
